The Ugandan Orphans Choir is a ministry of Childcare Worldwide – a non-profit organization dedicated to helping transform the lives of children through sponsorship and education which ultimately leads to employability.

 About The Ugandan Orphans Choir

The Ugandan Ophans Choir is composed of ten children ranging in age from 8-12 who are from the Ssese Islands located on Uganda’s Lake Victoria. The children are orphans who were rescued through Childcare Worldwide’s sponsorship program and the choir’s main objective is to raise awareness of the desperate need to help children living in Third-World countries. The Choir has performed in many different settings from churches to schools nationwide as well as Disneyland and pro-sports events, touching hearts everywhere they go.
